Before use, the FortiController-5208 module must be correctly inserted into a
FortiGate-5140 or FortiGate-5050 chassis. XFP and SFP transceivers must also
be installed before the module can be connected to other network devices.
This chapter describes:
•
Installing XFP and SFP transceivers

Troubleshooting
The FortiController-5208 module ships with XFP and SFP transceivers that you
must install for normal operation of the FortiController-5208 module. The XFP
transceivers are inserted into the cage sockets labeled X1 and X2 on the module
front panel. The SFP transceivers are inserted into the cage sockets numbered
D15, D16, and 1 to 4. You can install the transceivers before or after inserting the
FortiController-5208 module into a FortiGate chassis.
You can install the following types of XFP transceivers for connectors X1 and X2:
•
XFP fiber transceivers
•
•
XFP fiber transceivers
•
You can install the following types of SFP transceivers for connectors 1 to 8:
•
SFP fiber transceivers
•
SFP 1000Base-LX, SM module
•
SFP 1000Base-SX, MM module (multimode)
•
SFP copper transceivers
•
SFP 1000Base-T, SERDES version only (SGMII version not supported)
To install XFP and SFP transceivers
To complete this procedure, you need:
•
A FortiController-5208 module
•
Two XFP transceivers
•
Four SFP transceivers
•
An electrostatic discharge (ESD) preventive wrist or ankle strap with
connection cord
Caution: The FortiController-5208 modules must be protected from static discharge and
physical shock. Only handle or work with FortiController-5208 modules at a static-free
workstation. Always wear a grounded electrostatic discharge (ESD) preventive wrist or
ankle strap when handling FortiController-5208 modules.
